Why is it that when Israeli helicopters flatten houses in response to religious extremists carrying out a suicide bombing targetting civilians, they are denounced as monsters, yet when relgious extremist fuckups burn an Embassy in response to a fucking cartoon, nobody calls them on it, and all the Danes can do is say "Now, we didn't mean to offend ( Read more... )

there were about 8, but this is the most obviously 'offensive' one. Some make no sense to me whatsoever.

I must say, I've seen more people call Muslims fuckups (OWTTE) than Jews fuckups (OWTTE).

But yes. Burning embassies is a bit much. Flags, yeah ok. Effergies, a bit creepy but essentially harmless.

Embassies is definitely overreaction, though. OK, so someone depicted Mohamed (this is prohibited in Islam law) in a few cartoons. Those people weren't muslim or in a muslim country, so they weren't technically doing anything wrong. OK, so maybe the cartoons were still offensive, but most cartoons are to someone or other. Get over it.

I am VERY tempted to wear a shirt with that picture on it, but I often go through brunswick on my way to uni, so I may die very quickly. And like, I'll have to fend off fucking arts students when at uni.

"HAY GUYS! They drew a cartoon that shows how our culture is violent"
"Let's prove them wrong by BLOWING SHIT UP AND SETTING FIRE TO EMBASSIES, THAT WILL SHOW THEM HOW WRONG THEY ARE"

Also, Shira law applies ONLY to Muslims. If I want to draw Mohammed I will fucking draw mohammed, most likely with roller skates and a jetpack, smiting infidels left right and centre.

How about something a bit more diplomatic, like a bright orange T-shirt with a smiling mohammed (with good luck bomb hat) giving everyone a double thumbs up. Underneath there could be something touching like "Mohammed is A-Okay!". That way you'll be giving a fair and balanced representation of Islam.

Somehow I do not think your 'more diplomatic' orange T-shirt would save jeebuz_avt from the dying in Brunswick. :/
